    I am hearing that great things are expected of Ellijah McCall son of Oliver McCall, Former heavyweight champion of the world. Elijah looks exactly like a young version of his father its very striking. Hope he doesn't follow in his drug and Alcahol habits........

    Tony & Anthony Mundine.

    Tony lost to Carlos Monzon, Anthony of course a former WBA super middle champ.

    Leo & Luisito Espinosa.

    Luisito a former 2 weight world champion, Leo lost a decision to Pascual Perez.

    Muhammd & Laila Ali could be another.

    Brian & Jack London could count. Brian fought Patterson and Ali and came close, Jack was a British champion and fought guys like Tommy Loughran and Buddy Baer but never got a shot I don't believe.

    Mike Weaver's triplets were all contenders I believe.

    The question that begs to be asked: Does Elijah have his dad's otherworldly chin?

    Alfredo Escalera Jr. He's a cruiserweight that looks like a GIGANTIC version of his dad. 16-1, but hasn't stepped up yet. He's competing on this years Contender.
